Apcela – Chicago, IL – Apcela, the high-performance application delivery company,
announces the availability of UltraFast™ Market Data for the Cloud. Leveraging Apcela’s Alpha
Platform™, firms moving front or back office infrastructure to the cloud now have an
institutional grade source of accelerated, real-time market data in native format, from top

a firm’s cloud instances in virtually any region or availability zone globally across leading
Infrastructure as a Service platforms, including Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google
Cloud, and a host of others.

enable competitive advantages in speed, performance, and cost, we’ve already seen strong
uptake on this solution – from one of the fastest growing technology-driven retail brokerages,
